Technology is a huge part of everyday life for everyone in our society – and today’s children are in the position of being born surrounded by phones, computers and tablets. It’s only natural that they will be intrigued by technology from an early age, and parents will want to give them the opportunity to explore and learn with a safe and educational device. Therefore, educational laptops from brands such as Fisher-Price, Leap Frog and VTech are popular with mums and dads looking for a easy and secure way of getting their little one online for the first time, without potentially exposing them to inappropriate sites. As a leading wholesaler of baby and nursery products, Baby Brands Direct has an extensive range of educational laptops, with a variety of options to suit children from 6 months up to 4 years and over.

These laptops may look like fun and colourful toys with buttons and lights, which they are – but they’re also so much more than that and provide so many benefits! These toy laptops have a primary focus on education. They allow children to learn about the world around them, as well as introducing concepts like maths, colours and language in a fun and engaging way! Regular use of a toy laptop helps improve literacy – such as letter recognition, pronunciation and spellings. Children are also encouraged to read information, which may help to encourage reading books. They’re also great for teaching children basic computer literacy, such as how to type on a QWERTY keyboard and how to use a mouse – which will be useful for the future. All of this helps to support the learning they’ll be doing in formal education. 

Educational toy laptops offer a highly interactive playtime solution for children to enjoy as well as learn from. Many of the options available come with easy to play games that are engaging and entertaining. Playing these games can also help improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, as well as helping children learn about cause and effect. VTech’s Baby’s Laptop is designed for children aged 6 months and up, with easy to press, chunky buttons that introduce animals and their sounds. There’s also an ABC button for introducing letters to little one. This is one of the more basic models, aimed at babies who simply want buttons to press and lights and sounds. Leap Frog’s Clic the ABC 123 Laptop is great for older children, from 3 years and up. This cute laptop features a friendly face and has 10 engaging activities for children to play with. It also introduces children to the concept of coding! 

The VTech Challenger Laptop is a model that looks more like an adult’s laptop, enabling children to feel a little more grown up. This laptop is centred around learning with 40 curriculum based activities. Children can learn English, maths, music and basic French with a quiz show like game-play! Kids can also share the fun with friends in 2-player mode. The Challenger laptop features a Progressive Learning System that cuts study into stages, making it easy for kids to learn. The next model up from this is the VTech Genio My First Laptop, which is the most like an adult computer out of all our options. The Genio includes a word processor, which allows children to create their own documents – with templates to create greetings cards, letters and more. Documents can be printed, and there are also 20 printable Revision Sheets on the subjects of maths, language, history and more! The Genio also features a child safe web browser, 40+ games and e-books!
